In 2009, the Dodge Journey holds 9 to 10 quarts of transmission fluid, typically using ATF4. You can buy this fluid in one-quart bottles or gallon jugs at various retail stores, auto shops, and online from trusted vehicle product sellers. Prices range from $5 to $32 per container. If you opt for a professional to replace the transmission fluid, expect to pay labor costs between $30 and $137.
What is the reason the gears won't shift down in a 2009 Dodge Journey?
The 2009 Dodge Journey requires anywhere from 4 to 11 quarts of transmission fluid, depending on the type of transmission it has.
The amount of oil needed for a transmission fluid change depends on factors like the engine size (2.7 or 3.5) and type of gas used. For a 2.7 flex fuel engine, you would need 4 quarts of transmission fluid, while a 2.7 non-flex fuel engine requires 5.5 quarts. A complete fill-up for both these engines would be 9 quarts. On the other hand, for a 3.5 AWD engine, you would need 4 quarts of transmission fluid. These quantities apply to the 62TE transmission, while for the 41 transmission, you would need 4 quarts. It is important to note that all these changes involve draining the old fluid and changing the filter, except for the "new fill" specified for the 2.7 engine. As for the 3.5 engine in a front-wheel drive (FWD) configuration, it is likely that 4 quarts of transmission fluid would be needed as well, but this is not confirmed.
